Tiger Woods Undergoes Seventh Back Surgery
Golf legend Tiger Woods announced he recently underwent surgery to replace a collapsed disk in his back, marking the seventh back operation for the 49-year-old.
Woods is facing another health setback, which will delay his return to competitive play. The surgery, which took place a day before the announcement, aimed to replace a disk in his back.
"After experiencing pain and lack of mobility in my back, I consulted with Doctors and Surgeons to have tests taken,"
Woods said in a statement, adding that the scans determined he had a collapsed disc in L4/5, disc fragments, and a compromised spinal canal.
The surgery was successful, and Woods is recovering. This is his seventh back operation since 2014.
